[quote="Weyland"]Actually, I've never had any trouble looking like a complete scruffbag. No-one's ever challenged me, but if they do I can truthfully claim to be a games programmer. ]
That's what I meant, as opposed to a "Who the f*** are you?" scenario. I'd rather them not ask me anything and leave me alone. I once made the mistake of saying "Programmer" and I got followed everywhere I went on the stand (the same effect you'd get in an arcade). This was after I'd been asked if I was an arcade operator: I must have had that "trade but looks too casual" look. Wear a suit and people start trying to sell you stuff. So somewhere in between seems to work best for me

Time off work is proving a bit of a problem next week - think I'll be waiting at the door for 10am on Wednesday for a quick 1hr dash round the fruity companies as that's all I can afford to do timewise.

If anyone else reckons they might be there around the same time and fancies a natter, just shout!

Shame they can't stay open later...

Seriously thinking of it now.

Looked up flights tonight came back as 60, not bad for a pretty much last minute booking flying on 24th return on 25th.

Hows it work machine wise, do you get to play them with real cash, on test play or not at all?

Hopefully be seeing a few of you there
